This package will allow you to plot data on multiple X or Y axis. Similar to MATLAB's own plotyy function, but less limiting.
Features:
Create any combination of X or Y axes, plot multiple lines on each X or Y axis
Native argument styles and overloaded plot functions supported e.g:
axisyy(xdata, ydata, 'r-', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 14);
axisyy(TimeSeriesObject, 'b-', 'LineWidth', 3);
Use any plotting function you specify (plot, line, patch, etc)
Set the limits of every axis independently
Ability to update xdata/ydata directly without thinking about the transformation
Compatible with MATLAB's zoom, pan and data cursor tools
Figure is resizeable and rescales objects around colorbars if they are present
The code has been completely rewritten using an object oriented approach.
